The snood nostalgia Do you remeber Carlos Tevez's neckwarmer?
There was a time in football where snoods or neckwarmers were trending. It was around 2005, and the pile boomed as pricipal material for sportswear production, cheap and warm. Meanwhile, footballers were starting to use a set of useless accessories and the stylish show off of tattoos was taking the stage, the snood become an iconic object linked to technical players and to a certain feeling of nostalgia for their homeland, because it was always worn by foreigns in England. The snood trend was drammatically ended in 2011 by the IFAB that banned them for the fear of hangign.
If you share this kind of nostalgia for this object you can understand the breathtaking moment when I saw these Nike photos of a new snood prototype.
In Italy the main ambassador of the snood was Roma's captain Francesco Totti, that could count also on Twitter account dedicated to snoods. The Totti's passion for snoods was copied by all the technical players in Italy and so every kid of the academy owned one. A part from Totti the snoods were very popular among goalkeepers too, Gianluigi Buffon was a huge fan of it.
